A man suddenly walks out and clears throat, he stands with hands in pockets and waits for the letters to come up on the screen, so after he may speak:Eight people stood against a police line up. Those eight people were well known as the new Sanzo-Ikkou. Some time ago it started out as just four boys and one dragon. Slowly yet gradually over time the group has grown, four girls and another dragon joining as well. The strength has increased, in numbers and in trust. Lets look back on the old Sanzo-Ikkou and the newest members of the group. We will start with the tallest, Sha Gojyo, the half human and half demon hybrid of the group. This Hanyou has charm and seems rough at first glance but really is a nice guy. Cho Hakkai, the smart and polite one of the group that seems to help keep them all together in the worse fights and times. Genjyo Sanzo, the stern and more serious one of the group, he may be harsh at times but does care for his friends. Son Goku the more carefree and hyper of the group, he is the hungry one and doesn't hesitate to help out with things.
Now going on with the newest members of the group. Mayumi Kimiko, another person that helps settle disputes with the arguments and protective yet wonderful fighter. Inoue Lynto, a outspoken caring member that cares very much for Gojyo and the others. Shigeko Amber, a fun loving yet eccentric girl who is great friends with everyone in the Sanzo Party. Lastly Fostuua Ashurri, the hyper and one that loves adventure, she cares deeply for her friends and is glad that more girls are traveling with the group then just her.
These eight travelers, the Sanzo Ikkou are going on with their journey to stop the cause of the Minus wave. They must go west, facing problems with themselves and youkai. Now...
Man clears throat and finally speaks in a monotone voice."Tougenkyo. A world that was not stained with blood in which Humans and Youkai once co-existed in harmony. That balance however, was suddenly broken. The Forbidden experiments to resurrect the Great Youkai Gyuumaoh, who was sealed with flame 500 years ago, created the Minus wave, a mysterious incident which caused youkai across the land to loose their sanity.
Kanzeon Bosastu finally speaks, interrupting him."Oi oi, what's the point getting into all of this NOW"?
Man continues."Four young men and women were chosen to travel across west to discover the source of this disaster. They were sent to stop the attempts to revive Gyuumoah. For the sake of restoring peace to the world-"
"For the sake of the world? Ha... that's only the begining of it" Kanzeon sits casually in a chair. Kanzeon gives a intense look and raises a arm and slowly, then points a slender index finger at the eight. "Enough explanations, already! So..."
Kimiko and Hakkai walking beside each other up at front while having a conversation. Gojyo walking with Lyn, Shakujou leaning against shoulder and a smile on both his and Lyn's face. Amber playing with Sanzo's gun and playfully pointing it at him while he tries to get it back. Goku and Ashurri walking behind the others, both of them casually having their arms folded behind their heads.
"Are you ready, you punks"?...
::URASAI::___________________________________________________________
All of us sat outside in the cool refreshing air in the alley way of the inn and the restaurant next door. The alley way was lit by a dim glow of the light above the restaurant kitchen exit and the pale moon above also gave a luminous light as well. Gojyo and Goku sat on top the silver lids of some trashcans, Lyn stood beside Gojyo where he was seated and had one arm rested on his shoulder with a smile on her face. While Amber and Sanzo made a choice to stand near the opening of the alley. Kim and Hakkai leaned against the wall near the door and my own seat was sitting on a cardboard box that was just a bit away from the trash cans. The inn was blazing inside so we all had escaped to the outside. It was nice and breezy but the smells coming from the kitchen was starting to make Goku hungry. The evening was rather dull and we would have to get up early tomorrow then move on to the next town like always. This journey was long and it would take a while to get west, it would take longer if youkai and interruptions kept showing up. As we got closer to our goal the dangers grew, we all knew that. We also wished that we would have less run ins with Hazel, we haven't seen him for a while and we wanted Sanzo to keep it that way. Kougaiji's group hadn't showed up either but they would come eventually. For now we would go where the road took us. Keep on fighting, laughing, having fun when we could. Trouble would come up but we could over come it if we tried and had hope. Sanzo sometimes reminds us, "The more and more we go on this journey, the more trouble we will get".
Gojyo looked up at the sky, looking at the stars for a minute and Lyn did the same. Amber rocked back and forth on her toes and Sanzo was reloading bullets into his gun so he wouldn't have to do it in the morning. Goku yawned and was in deep thought. Kim was standing with Hakkai and looking at her feet. Hakkai had a calm expression on his face. He then laughed a bit and we all looked at him.
"Oi, Hakkai whatcha laughin' at"? asked Goku, leaning a bit forward and getting comfortable in his seat on the trash can lid.
"It will be another year soon" Hakkai mused. We all turned all of our attention to him and nodded slowly in reply. "Our group has grown larger and good and bad things have happend, most of those good things are funny"
Sanzo put his gun away and folded his arms across his chest, "Like"? Hakkai shrugged and looked at the others, urging them to think about the funny things.
Gojyo snapped his fingers and then spoke, "Like the time Ashurri took Hakuryuu and managed to drive crazy and beat youkai in the process" Small chuckles came out from the group and a smile appeared on my face.
"Lyn beating the shit out of youkai with a frying pan" Laughs grew a bit louder.
"Oh! How 'bout the bald temple guys who made the girls dress up like men"! A few groans and stifle laughs hit air.
"THE PEACH COBBLER"! A crash came from me because it just so happens that I fell in to the cardboard box. The others busted out laughing because of that and my outburst.
Amber lifted up Sanzo's foot and pointed at it, "Jesus shoes"! The others laughed loudly filling the night air, while Sanzo just made a face. The laughs died down soon enough...
"Sanzo in a fruit hat"...
"When did that happen Goku"?
Goku shrugged and gave a sheepish grin. "Made it up". Gojyo snickered at the thought of the all mighty Sanzo being in a fruit hat then added his own made up idea.
"Sanzo marrying a donkey".
It continued with Lyn, "Sanzo dressed like Betty Crocker"
"Sanzo getting attacked by Youkai while in the bathroom"
"Sanzo getting attacked with a carrot"
"Sanzo with Hello Kitty boxers"
..."Enough".
Ash-Well there you go. A new story will be posted up soon and it will continue the journey. So wait until its up and as new adventures unfold!
